GATE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,033,6lated April 13, 1886.

Application filed September 14, 1885. Serial No. 177,110.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN M. DINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have 5 invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Gates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the gate properly attached to a post. Fig. 2 is an isometric-a1 view showing the gate properly attached to a post and the gate opened. Fig. 3 shows by detached views the roller and hinge. Fig. 4 is a view in elevation, showing the different parts of the hinge and roller properly attached together; and Fig. 5 is a wheel-support partly broken away.

The present invention has relation to gates; and its nature consists in the different parts and combination of parts hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the gate proper, which may be substantially of the form shown in the drawings, and is constructed in the ordinary manner, and is securely held to the postB by means of the roller and hinge, as hereinafter described.

To the post B is securely attached the screw-threaded arm 0, said arm being sub stantially of the form shown in Figs. 3 and 5, and, as shown, said arm is provided with a pointed portion, a, so as to provide a means of easily starting said' arm in the aperturein the post 13, through which aperture the arm 0 passes, and for the purpose of having the arm 0 firmly held in the aperture the diameter of the arm Oshould be somewhat larger than the diameter of the aperture through which it passes. To the arm 0 is attached the extension D, which is located substantially as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. This extension D may be cast or formed with the arm 0, or it may be made or formed separately and atperspective view showing the arm 0 and (N0 model.)

tached in any well-known manner, and is so arranged that it will fit against the post B, to which post it is securely attached by means of screws or clamping-bolts.

The purpose of the extension D is to securely hold the arm 0 in proper position and at the same time prevent the arm 0 from turning in the post B.

The arm 0 is provided with the eye E, 6 which is substantially of .the form shown in Figs. 3,4, and 5. This eye E is provided with the opening F, which is for the passage of the frame and wheel-support G.

To place the frame and wheel-support in 6 the open eye E, the portion H is passed through the opening F, when the portion H is placed in the eye E, thus forming a hinge or joint which will permit the gate A to be swung around, as shown in Fig. 2. o

The wheel or rollerI is placed in the frame G, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, and is held in proper position by means of a pin or bolt passing through said wheel or roller I and the arms. The bottom or lower portion of the wheel-support G is provided with the extensions or lips (I d, which are for the purpose of forming a groove or guide for the board below the wheel or roller I.

For the purpose of preventing the frame s and wheel-support G from being lifted out of position by hogs or other animals, the flange J is provided, which is located substantially as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5, and is so arranged that its top or upper side will come against 8 the bottom or under side of the eye E.

It will be seen that by my peculiar arrange ment the gate will not tip downward at its rear end when it is slid back past its center but will be held in proper position by means 0 of the frame and wheel-support G.

The gate A is placed in proper position by first placing the board K in the guide or groove in the frame or Wheel-support G and then placing the wheel or roller I in the frame 5 or wheelsupport G, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, and for the purpose of preventing the gate A from becomingdetached from its support and hinge the wheel or roller I is provided with the flange 0.

The gate A, when pushed or pulled in either direction, is held in an upright posi- IOO tion by means of the pendent lips or exten; G, provided with the extensions (1 d and the sionsdd and the flanges c 0. located on the l flange J, the roller I, and the gate A, all wheel or roller I. arranged substantially as shown and del 5 I claimscribed, and for the purpose specified. q 1.
